Overview
Your Privacy is very important to us. Our privacy practices are held to high standards.
As part of the normal operation of our services we collect and, in some cases, may disclose information about you. This Privacy Policy describes the information we collect about you and what may happen to that information. Although this policy may seem long, we have prepared a detailed policy because we believe you should know as much as possible about FollowUs practices so that you can make informed decisions.
The privacy practices of this statement apply to the http://pages.Followus.co.uk website (the "Site"). All other Followus companies operate under similar privacy practices as described in this Privacy Policy and, subject to the requirements of applicable local law, we strive to provide a consistent set of privacy practices throughout the global Followus trading community
As described below, some of your personally identifiable information is disclosed to third parties and used by us and third parties. By accepting the Privacy Policy, you expressly consent to our use and disclosure of your personally identifiable information.

1.A Special Note About E-mail Alerts.
Where a Registered User seeks consent to locate a 3rd party (and that 3rd party having already given consent to be located by other Registered Users), then an e-mail will be sent to the other Registered Users to advise them that a new Registered User has asked for consent to locate the 3rd party. This e-mail will disclose the names and telephone numbers of all those Registered Users authorised to locate the 3rd party including your details whether you are the new Registered User or existing Registered User. The e-mail will also disclose the name and the number of the 3rd party. This will mean that your name and number will be disclosed to other Registered Users where both you and the at least one other Registered User seek to locate a 3rd party when using the service. If you are not happy for your details to be released in line with this security feature then please do not register for the FollowUs service.

2.Information We Collect.
Our primary goal in collecting personal information is to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customised experience. This allows us to provide services and features that most likely meet your needs, and to customise our service to make your experience easier. Under some circumstances we may require some additional financial information, such as, but not limited to credit card details if you are registering using an email account at a free email service, or registering to buy on our site. We use this financial information, including to verify your name, address, and other information, as well as to bill you for your use of our services.
If you send us personal correspondence over and above the information supplied on registration, such as emails or letters, or if other users or third parties send us correspondence about your activities or postings on the Site, we may collect such information into a file specific to you. If you register for Followus on another web site or use a web site providing a service for Followus or a web site that helps facilitate your activity on Followus, that web site may provide personal information about you and your transactions back to FollowUs.

3.Our Use of Your Information.
We use information in the files we maintain about you, and other information we obtain from your current and past activities on the Site, to resolve disputes, troubleshoot problems and enforce our User Agreement. At times, we may look across multiple users to identify problems or resolve disputes, and in particular we may examine your information to identify users using multiple User IDs or aliases, which are strictly prohibited within this site. Please note that your personally identifiable information will be stored and processed on our computers in the UK. Followus will hold and transmit your personal information in a safe, confidential and secure environment.
You agree that we may use personally identifiable information about you to improve our marketing and promotional efforts, to analyse site usage, improve our content and product offerings, and customise our site's content, layout, and services. These uses improve our site and better tailor it to meet your needs. You agree that we may use your information to contact you and deliver information to you that, in some cases, are targeted to your interests, such as targeted banner advertisements, administrative notices, product offerings, and communications relevant to your use of the Site. By accepting the Privacy Policy, you expressly agree to receive this information. If you do not wish to receive these communications, we encourage you to opt out of the receipt of certain communications on the notification preferences page. You may make changes to your notification preferences at any time.

4.Our Disclosure of Your Information.
Due to the existing regulatory environment, we cannot ensure that all of your private communications and other personally identifiable information will never be disclosed in ways not otherwise described in this Privacy Policy. By way of example (without limiting the foregoing), we may be requested or forced to disclose information to the government, law enforcement agencies or third parties under certain circumstances, third parties may unlawfully intercept or access transmissions or private communications, or users may abuse or misuse your information that they collect from our Site. Therefore, although we aim to use industry standard practices to protect your privacy, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personally identifiable information or private communications would always remain private. As a matter of policy, we do not sell or rent any personally identifiable information about you or your location to any third party. However, the following describes some of the ways that your personally identifiable information may be disclosed. Advertisers. We aggregate (gather up data across all user accounts) personally identifiable information and disclose such information in a non-personally identifiable manner to advertisers and other third parties for other marketing and promotional purposes. However, in these situations, we do not disclose to these entities any information that could be used to identify you personally. Certain information, such as your name, address, email address, password, or other personal information ARE NEVER disclosed to marketing advertisers.

FollowUs Community.
External Service Providers. There are a number of services offered by external service providers that help you use our Site (e.g., co-branded sites, listing agents, escrow, authentication, credit card payments). If you use these services, and in the course of doing so, disclose information to the external service providers, and/or grant them permission to collect information about you, then their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy. We may, for your convenience, provide some of your personally identifiable information to the external service provider offering such services. However, before we disclose your personally identifiable information to an external service provider, you will see what data is about to be sent and have the ability to approve the disclosure. To prevent our disclosure of your personally identifiable information to an external service provider, you can decline such disclosures or simply not use their services. Because we do not control the privacy practices of these third parties, you should evaluate their practices before deciding to use their services. Internal Service Providers. We may use internal service providers to facilitate our services (e.g., search, discussion boards, surveys) and therefore we may provide some of your personally identifiable information directly to them. In some instances, the internal service provider may collect information directly from you (such as the situation where we ask a internal service provider to conduct a survey for us). In these cases, you will be notified of the involvement of the internal service provider, and all information disclosures you make will be strictly optional. In all cases, these internal service providers' use of information we supply them is restricted by confidentiality agreements. If you provide additional information to an internal service provider directly, then their use of your information is governed by their applicable privacy policy.

Other Corporate Entities.
We share much of our data, including personally identifiable information about you, with our parent, external affiliate resellers, subsidiaries and joint ventures that are committed to serving your online needs and related services, throughout the world. To the extent that these entities have access to your information, they will treat it at least as protectively as they treat information they obtain from their other users. Our parent, external affiliate resellers, subsidiaries and joint ventures follow privacy practices no less protective of all users than our practices described in this document, to the extent allowed by applicable law. It is possible that Followus, its subsidiaries, its joint ventures, or any combination of such, could merge with or be acquired by another business entity. Should such a combination occur, you should expect that Followus would share some or all of your information in order to continue to provide the service. You will receive notice of such event (to the extent it occurs) we will require that the new combined entity follow the practices disclosed in this Privacy Policy.
Legal Requests. Followus co-operates with law enforcement inquiries, as well as other third parties to enforce laws, such as: intellectual property rights, fraud and other rights. We can (and you authorise us to) disclose any information about you to law enforcement or other government officials as we, in our sole discretion, believe necessary or appropriate, in connection with an investigation of fraud, intellectual property infringements, or other activity that is illegal or may expose us or you to legal liability. Further, we disclose your User ID, name, street address, county, postcode, country, phone number, email, and company name to government authorities, court or lawyers pursuant to an action including any additional information we may store as we believe necessary or appropriate in connection with any investigation of unlawful activity.

5.Your Use of Other Users' Information.
By accepting this Privacy Policy, you agree that, with respect to other users' personally identifiable information that you obtain through the Site or through a Followus-related communication. Followus hereby grants to you a license to use such information only for using services offered through Followus.

6.Control of Your Password.
You are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password, including fees. Therefore, we do authorise you to disclose your Followus password to any third parties without our written consent - Please see Clause 2 of our User Agreement. If you disclosure your User ID and password or your information with third parties, then you are responsible for all actions taken with your User ID and password and therefore you should review that third party's privacy policy. If you lose control of your password, you may lose substantial control over your personally identifiable information and may be subject to illegally binding actions taken on your behalf. Therefore, if your password has been compromised for any reason, you should immediately change your password. This functionality is available at the location page of the Followus website post login.

7.Other Information Collectors.
Since Followus does not control the privacy policies of third parties, you are subject to the privacy policies of that third party. We encourage you to ask questions before you disclose your personal information to others.

8.Security.
Followus aims to use industry standard practices to safeguard the confidentiality of your personal identifiable information, including "firewalls". Followus treats data as an asset that must be protected against loss and unauthorised access. We employ different security techniques to protect such data from unauthorised access by users inside the company. However, "perfect security" does not exist on the Internet.

9.Notice.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time based on your comments and our need to accurately reflect our data collection and disclosure practices. All changes to this policy are effective after thirty (30) days' from posting any revised Terms and Conditions on the FollowUs website.
